The Avalon Felicity Basel to Amsterdam affords the cruiser a taste of the many delightful small towns and cities that line the Rhine River from Zurich Switzerland through Amsterdam Netherlands.

We are a couple in our mid-fifties who enjoy traveling to enjoy new experiences and learn interesting things. We live in a very large metropolitan city but we enjoy engaging with folks from all walks of life. We appreciate good and caring service, but we don't need any extra frills. After two Avalon cruises I find that this fits the profile of the Avalon guest exactly. We traveled both times during the month of July and found that the age demographic was skewered lower than average during this month. Also, we found almost one half of the passengers to be non-Americans, which we enjoyed very much also. Besides USA, the passengers were from Canada, England, Australia, and New Zealand. There were some groups that were traveling together, but on the most part most folks were traveling as couples or groups of four and mixed and mingled with each other.
